Rövid életrajz/Bio: Selene B. Carter achieved her MFA in dance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and received the Ruth Page Award, Chicago’s highest honor in dance. Recent critical reviews of Carter’s choreography hailed her work as "splendid", "sensuous, mythological…ebullient and sexy" and wrote that it “brought warmth and tenderness to the many interactions it was built upon.” As an Assistant Professor of Contemporary Dance at Indiana University, Bloomington, in the Department of Theatre, Drama & Contemporary Dance she teaches dance improvisation, 20th century concert dance history, movement analysis, Evans dance technique and dance making. She is a certified teacher of the Bill Evans Dance Laban/Bartenieff Modern Dance Technique.

Abstract:

I will present the foundations of Laban Movement Studies and its theoretical framework as theorized by Hungarian dancer-scientist-artist Rudolf von Laban (1879-1958). The four centers of his work that systemize and articulate human movement in relationship to the mover’s environment; the body, effort (antrieb), shape and space, aided by members of the Indiana University Contemporary Dance Theater. I will explicate his notation system for movement, Labanotation, and provide an historic locus for his work in the context of the Hungarian avant-garde.
